Advertising Tobacco Use
Tobacco use, including smoke-less tobacco is mainly encouraged by advertisment which usually targets teens. Year after year, more and more people are consuming tobacco products. This includes people of all ages, such as teenagers and adults. Showing commercials about products that help people stop smoking defeats the purpose of advertising tobacco. If they advertise tobacco, even though it is unhealthy, why advertise products to help stop the use of tobacco.

Why not advertise both cigarettes and products to help smokers stop? It sounds like a brilliant business plan set upon us by corporate America. Advertise tobacco targeting every audience. Everyone knows the extreme dangers of smoking but they do it anyway. Then continue to inform every age group about the dangers of smoking in hopes that they will one day decide to stop. If they one day do decide to give up cancer maybe they will buy your product to help them. Nicotine is addictive, people relapse. Sounds like an endless cycle of cash. I want shares in both and hand me another cigarette.
